06:44.37cad_zulip@**Sean**  Is it a bad idea to leave semaphores in shootrays_parallel and directly feed rt_shootray to bu_parallel ?
06:44.37cad_zulip```
06:44.37cad_zulipas with most performance-related questions like that, the answer is a huge "it depends"
06:46.54cad_zulip@**Sean**: in general, i wouldn't leave them in and try to create an impl that doesn't rely on synchronization, but then you also won't likely see any performance implication with most use cases that come to mind.

16:32.16cad_zulip@**Sumagna Das**: What task are u working on now?
18:15.14cad_zulip@**Himanshu Sekhar Nayak**: Hey @**Daniel Rossberg** How I can determine the value of `return` statement ?
18:15.53cad_zulip@**Himanshu Sekhar Nayak**: here is an example like this
18:15.58cad_zulip@**Himanshu Sekhar Nayak**: `template<_GetObject getObject> static int Name
18:15.58cad_zulip(
18:15.58cad_zulip<PROTECTED>
18:15.58cad_zulip) {
18:15.58cad_zulip<PROTECTED>
18:15.59cad_zulip<PROTECTED>
18:16.00cad_zulip<PROTECTED>
18:16.01cad_zulip}`
18:16.31cad_zulip@**Himanshu Sekhar Nayak**: Here it is returning `1`
18:28.48cad_zulip@**Himanshu Sekhar Nayak**: btw I got a reference manual to bind it http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#3
18:35.42cad_zulip@**Sumagna Das**: Hey Himanshu
18:36.17cad_zulip@**Sumagna Das**: What series of tasks are you working on?
18:40.42cad_zulip@**Himanshu Sekhar Nayak**: btw I found a class here `class BRLCAD_COREINTERFACE_EXPORT AttributeIterator`
18:40.51cad_zulip@**Himanshu Sekhar Nayak**: is that what you are pointing to ?
18:42.18cad_zulip@**Himanshu Sekhar Nayak**: @**Daniel Rossberg** If I am correct than I have to only do the work on `Object atrributes methods` ?

18:44.54cad_zulip@**Chiranjiv Singh Malhi**: Hey can anyone help me whenever I convert from iges to g I never get any geometry

18:45.24cad_zulip@**Chiranjiv Singh Malhi**: I used this command
18:48.11cad_zulip@**Daniel Rossberg**: ```quote
18:48.11cad_zulipHey @**Daniel Rossberg** How I can determine the value of `return` statement ?
18:48.11cad_zulip```
18:48.11cad_zulipThe function returns the number of return values. The values are put on the stack. In your example, it returns one string. ```lua_pushstring()``` pushes the value on top of the stack and ```return 1;``` signals that the function put one value as a function return on the stack.
18:49.20cad_zulip@**Sumagna Das**: Hey Daniel how's it going?
18:49.36cad_zulip@**Daniel Rossberg**: ```quote
18:49.36cad_zulip@**Daniel Rossberg** If I am correct than I have to only do the work on `Object atrributes methods` ?
18:49.36cad_zulip```
18:49.36cad_zulipNo, all but the attribute methods. I.e., only the simple ones.

18:52.02cad_zulip```
18:52.02cad_zulipIt looks like the iges geometry doesn't contain any solid (3D element).
18:53.51cad_zulip@**Sumagna Das**: Which task are you one @**Chiranjiv Singh Malhi** ?
18:55.03cad_zulip@**Chiranjiv Singh Malhi**: Importing from freecad
